Everyone has a role. Join PGC Director Jayson Wells as he examines the benefit of buying into your team’s system and starring in the role your coach has given you.
Los Angeles Clippers Head Coach Doc Rivers said it best. “Everyone can’t be the star of the team, but everyone can star in their role.” That’s not an easy thing to do, but players like Marcus Smart have long NBA careers because that’s exactly what they do.
Everyone Has A Role
Whether you are scoring many points or no points, each person on the team has a role. When your coach establishes your role, that becomes an opportunity for you to embrace and star in your role. Once you star in your role, you can discuss with your coach what greater roles you want and are ready to move into. Earn your coach’s trust by showing them you are excelling in your current role and are prepared to excel in a new one.
“believe in your role, stay in your role and star in your role.” – PGC Director, Jayson Wells
